Easy, Quiet and Peaceful
Wonderful CROWN POINT PATHWAY follows Lake Cascade on a level path.
Crown Point Rail-Trail is a 10 mile out and back trail located near Cascade, Idaho. The trail is good for all skill levels and primarily used for walking and mountain biking. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

It actually used to be the old railroad path. Easy walking, jogging, horseback riding or bicycling.

No motorized vehicles allowed, so that everyone has a peaceful walk.

Ospreys, Bald Eagles, Fox and Deer are common sights on the Crown Point Path.

The Strand is another wonderful trail reaching from bridge to bridge along the Payette River and includes Kelly's Whitewater Park.

ATV

If you and your family are out for adventure, bring up your ATV's and explore through the rough trails and roads up West Mountain or Warm Lake Road.

Great views and stories to tell your friends.

Golf along Lake Cascade
Call for Tee Times (208) 382-4653
Golfers have some excellent choices in the area. Cascade Golf Course has a challenging 9-hole golf course and restaurant overlooking Lake Cascade with magnificent scenic views of the surrounding mountains. Even though this is a 9-hole course there are four sets of tees set up to play 18 holes with a different approach to the green on each round.

Why go in summer: Because Idaho's first whitewater park is open for business.

Water world: Most people buzz through Cascade on their way to McCall, but insiders know to stick around for the incredible lakes, rivers, and hot springs.

Take a stroll in town: The Crown Point Railroad Grade Trail (parksandrecreation.idaho.gov) winds almost 3 miles along Lake Cascade.

Or a float: Paddle sports are king here, but for a lazier float, rent an inner tube at River Gear and glide the 2½ miles from North Bridge to South Bridge.

Night life: The Roxy Theatre (114 S. Main St.; theroxyidaho.com) is now restored to its 1939 glory, when it was one of the most advanced movie theaters in the Northwest.

Reason to come back: The annual Valley County Fair & Rodeo (Week of 1st Sat in Aug; admission Free: Rodeo $), where last year, a huckleberry-raspberry pie from 86-year old local baking legend Mrs. G auctioned off for $6,300.

River wild: The 3½-acre Kelly's Whitewater Park has 5 sets of rapids that stir up this otherwise quiet stretch of the Payette River--and it's all free to the public. People tackle them in kayaks, rafts, and tubes, and newbies should stick to the easier west-side rapids. Open through Sep 5; kellyswhitewaterpark.com; equipment rentals at River Gear (762 S. Main St.; 208/382-6580).

A serious soak: With 6 cascading pools filled with mineral-rich spring water ranging from warm to very hot, and ringed by mountains, Gold Fork Hot Springs requires an afternoon to do right. $8; 1026 Gold Fork Rd. in Donnelly, 6 miles from State 55; 208/890-8730
